Beautiful Bedroom Armoire

It is almost like the shoemaker's children. 
I paint furniture and my bedroom furniture has needed painting for years.

This is the armoire in my bedroom. 

My husband keeps his clothes in it because I took the whole closet.

My bedroom furniture is finally getting painted!

I am off for the summer and ready to work. 


First on the list is this armoire. 


I am over the knotty pine look and ready for some of my favorite neutral colors.


I'm using Annie Sloan Chalk Paint in Graphite for this piece.


I start out with one light coat of chalk paint®.

Painting this piece is easy. 


I painted the outside and only the inside of the doors, not the entire inside. 


{Don't tell my husband but I left his clothes inside while I painted} hehe


When the chalk paint® was dry I used a fine grit sandpaper to distress the edges then used Artisan Enhancements Clear Topcoat to seal the piece. 


The top coat goes on a little milky but dries clear so don't panic!

This piece looks fantastic and I'm ready to work on the rest of the bedroom set.
